I’ve owned Subarus since the early 90’s and have had the misfortune of dealing with my local dealership. I used to reluctantly give them my business until I found a Subaru whisperer named Ivan in 2000. I still own a Subaru and got a factory recall letter a few years back saying to bring my car to the dealership to have the passenger airbag and re-flash the ECU to help with emissions. Being a bit of a tree hugger I brought my car in. When they re-flashed the ECU something went wrong; not long after bringing the car home the dash lit up and my idle dropped to where when the clutch was engaged the car would stall if let your foot off the gas. I can say that it’s near impossible to not stall in traffic when you’re hitting red lights and trying to make left turns with no advance green, it’s dangerous! You need the quickest of feet or a third leg to get by. Anyway, they didn’t fix the problem after 4 attempts and I wound up driving a messed up car for months only to end up with a seized engine because Hilltop was the last ones to touch my car and I made the mistake of assuming they would leave oil in my car for me! They wouldn’t compensate me and it was very painful asking the owner who is a “man” who prefers the company of men and has gone under the cosmetic knife and looks like a freak whilst telling you he can’t help you out! I’m sure he’s got a kardashian ass he’s saving up for and can’t afford to be a stand up MAN. Bottom line, go see Ivan at Ivan’s imports or head 45km south to Anthony’s in Kelowna if you’re in the area.
